Pour this ground masala in a vessel. Add sufficient amount of water, salt, coriander powder, rice flour, corn flour, wheat flour and bring it to boil. The consistency of the gravy should be like that of thin milkshake. Put 1/2 bay leaf to gravy. Keep the gravy in low flame for about 1 hr and keep stirring the gravy once in 5 mins. Take off the bay leaf from the gravy.

Taste of Masala Puri is not unique. It differs from one place to another! In places like Mumbai the Masala Puri will not be served with the gravy or masala. There is a huge difference in taste between the masala puris served within bangalore itself (Gaadis, Chat Centers, etc..)

Some people like their masala puris to be very spicy, some people like it sweet, some people like it dry. It all depends on what taste we are used to.

It would be better if we keep on tasting the gravy at least 8-10 times while cooking until we get the taste according to our taste buds.

According to me the recipe that I posted here tastes like the one we get in Bangalore Gaadis. I have received the same feedback from many people who have tried it!

Hi Veni,I love your blog and have been trying most of your recipes.My Husband is from Karnataka and loves the chaat items, especially.

I want to try this recipe today for my hubby who is a die hard fan of masala puri, and I have a question. I know you have mentioned that we need 2 cups of soaked beans. How much of dry beans would that be? around 1 cup? or do you mean 2 cups of beans, soaked? Just to be sure.

I just tried your masala puri recipe - at 10 in the night, coz it looked yummmy and it had been ages since I had tasted it. Came out very good. Infact, I didn't make the chutneys and also I didn't have the puris, but still tasted great! Plus, I also added some chaat masala for extra taste. Thank you so much :)

wooooo.. it was too good man i make this at home my hubby and me loved it .. its like Bangalore in Melbourne after years ... v felt v were in blr and eating malasa puri thanks man too good .... u r great !

thank you very much... it was yammyyyyyyy...i was missing bangalore sadashiva nagar masala puri here....but now happy to have tasty masala puri at home.... keep posting good reciepies..now onwards i will see ur blog very often.... thanks once again...

Tried this recipe today and loved it. This tasted exactly like the masala puri I used to get near my house in Shimoga. Thanks a lot for sharing this and making me miss home/indian food a little bit less.

Krishnaveni avare, I just wanted to confirm something in this recipe. Green Peas 2 cups soaked and pressure cooked. Do we have to use whole 2 cups for grinding along with Hesaru kaalu? This part was not clear. But I see you keep some cooked peas to top on pooris also. So please let me know how much peas to grind?Thanks Krishnaveni..

We have been craving for more than a year now in US to have roadside Bangalore chatSearched all over the web and came across your recipe. Tried it today and it came out just like or better than roadside chat. We are two satisfied souls thanks to you.

Tried this today. Came out wonderfully !! Almost had tear in my eye !!Masala puri is my favourite dish and I was searching for this particular type, which is available in Mysore on roadside gaadis. I dont like any other type of Masala puri. I am a guy and had least of experiences in kitchen but I could do everything on my own thanks to your detailed recipe.Once again, Thanks a lot !!

I just love your recipe for the masala puri. It is definitely one the best recipes available on the internet (I did some variations to your recipe to suit my taste)! The taste is very similar to the gaadi masala puri we get in bangalore.. which is my all time favorite snack. Looking foward to more street food recipes on your blog!

OMG! Would die looking at this. Have been looking for typical gaadi masala recipe. By reading the comments I have no doubt this is the one I have been looking for. But this masala is greenish while gaadi masala usually will be reddish (you know what I mean :)). Why is it so? Pls excuse me as I am an amateur cook.

I am a first tym visitor to ur site n all recipes looks too yummy....Regarding Masala puri, am gonna try this today as my hubby dear loves it.......my doubt is how long should i soak hesarukaalu? appreciate your quick reply

I have lived in bangalore near forum mall and passed the chat gaadi so many times and I would beg mmy hysband to allow me to have the green masala puri, but since I have a sensitive stomach hewould never allow me to..now i am craving for it and i thout i shd try it from your blog soon! Thanks

hiii... thanks a bunch for posting this.. masala puri is my fav.. we dont get it here in wellington.. but i soo glad I found ur blog.. i prepared it last week and was an instant hit! My husband loved it..

This is the first time Iam leaving a comment on a food blog..This recipe is absolutely fantastic.. I have been craving blore masala pri for 2 years.. and tried a couple of recipes that did not quite turn out well.. I tried your recipe with not expectations and it totally blew me and my hubby away! thanks a lot.. You must really have put it a lot of effort to get it right! I appreciate your hard work :)

I tried Masala puri also... :) I like masala puri very much. After coming to USA i didnt get anywhere masala puri which i used to get in b'lore or m'lore :) so thought to do at home and i followed your recipe...It tasted same as that of b'lore gaadi masala puri... :)I tried some other recipes also ...all came very well :)

Yes, you can prepare the gravy a day ahead and use but refrigerate once it is completely cooled to room temperature.If there is some left over gravy, you can also keep it in freezer and use it whenever you want but the taste is not as good as the fresh one we prepare....
